Miss Susan Dallas, whose father, George
NJ. Dallas, was at that time Amei2a I
minister to the court of st. James. All

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says:
"There is abject poverty to an alarming
extent in many of the larger cities in
our own country; but while woman often
suffers here, there is respect for her sex
which is found in every class of society,
and which protects her from the indigni-
ties endured by her sisters in other lands.
Women are finding many avenues to
self-support opening to them in the
United States. They are more and more
in demand in the cities every day. Bet
ter wages are being paid them, because
they have demonstrated that they excel
in many kinds of work. With the law
so firmly on her side; with the best
schools open for her culture; with a
shield Of sympathetic protection in the
manly sentiment Of the country, and with
commercial enterprise extending its
favors to her, the American woman has
cause to be thankful"

Dayy Jones's Locker.

Will you please inform me what is the origin of the nautical phrase, "Gone to Davy Jones's Locker" and who was ''Davy Joaes?"
 ANs.: Davy Jones's Locker is the sailor mans name for the place of the dead who are buried at sea. When a man dies at sea his body is sewed up in canvas, some heavy weight is at tached to his feet to make sure that the body sinks, and the whole is then dropped overheard. The body has gone to Davy Jones's Locker. It was an awful conceit of one sea writer that he bodies of the dead that had been cast overheard along the principal routes be. tween America and Europe are now standing erect on the bottom ot the sea shoulder to shoulder, from port to port.
 Jones is the sailor corruption of Jonah. He thinks the dominic who breaches about Jonah is simply afflicted with some ambition to talk like cock ney when saying Jonah, and that Jones is the name meant. Davy is said to come from the West India negso's word duffy, meaning devil or evil spirit. Davy Jones is simply Duffy or Devil Jonah--that is, he Is the civil spirit of the sea, just as Neptune is the God of the sea. Whatever of evil ktp. pens to the ship or crew is the work of the evil spirit of the sea, and so when a sailor man dies Davy Jones has claimed his own, and the body must be con signed to his hone. Some authorities think that Davy is a corruption of te91el, the German tor devil. l.-Ne,o Fork SSt,1

WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES
Some Int resting Figures of our Country's
 Growth and Prosperity.

The Thirteen statistical tables which MT. EDWARD ATKINSON presents the Gen. tury Magogine give an impressive idea of the material progress accomplished by this country, during the first century of its national existence, now nearly con- plcted.
 Its population for the year 1887 he computes at 59.S93, 900, with an increase for the census of 1890, according to the estimate of MT. E. B. ELLIOT, Actuary of the Treasury Department, to GA. 476, 900 making little more than double the population of 1860.
 Its products include 8, 014, 063, 994 bush els of grain for the year 1885, against an average of half that number for the five consecutive years including 1870 and 1874; hay crop of 4s, 470, 460 tons for 1874 against half that amount ten years earlier, product of 4,529,8 1869 tons of pig iron for 1885, and an estimated pro. duct of 5,600,O tons of 2,000 pounds each for 1886 against fewer than 2,000,- 0OO tons fifteen years ago. A cotton crop of 6, $50, 215 bales for 19S5-S6, or more than three times that of twenty years ago. We must also note that the aggregate of twenty one annual crops made by free labor since the war, is to the same num- Der of crops made before the war by slave labor as 93 Is to 5S, while the average weight of the bale has also in creased.
 Then, as to transportation, the 33, sos miles of railway in operation in 1865 have grown to 12s, ,o67 miles in 1886, with aggregate annual passenger and freight receipts of more than $72O, O0O,- 900. The railways for the four years ending in 1885 moved l, ,597, O5s, 562 tons of food, flores, fabrics, fuel, metal and timber an average distance of iii miles each ton, at charge of $2,O52, s49, Os5. Taking together several leading items of progress, the relative gains in 1885, as compared with 1865 have been ill pop ulation 69 per cent. in the hay crop, 1o6 in the cotton crop, 194; in the grain crop, 256; in railway mileage, 2SO; in fire insurance, BIO; in pig iron, 3S6. Upon the figures denoting the area of the country it is hardly necessary to dwell, save to observe that the fertile State of Texas alone is larger than the largest of European countries except Russia; that California is larger than all the British isles, and Florida than Eng land and Wales.
